Welcome to Snarkfest

Welcome to my snarky corner of the web. Join me as I discuss everything from wine to chocolate. There may be a few other topics mixed in there too. I talk a bunch about my amazing offspring, 19 and 17. I sometimes go on and on about my secret crush on the amazing Mike Rowe. I talk about things that irritate me or things that make me happy. Sometimes I just talk to hear myself talk. Feedback is always appreciated but please make sure it's respectable. No nudity or profanity. I'm the only one allowed to be profane. But any and all snark is welcome and appreciated!

It won't be long before the new book, I Just Want to Pee Alone is released for public consumption! I want to remind you that the book will be available to purchase on Amazon.com when it's released and I will most likely announce that within 3 nanoseconds of getting the go ahead, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I want to say a hearty THANK YOU to whomever has placed a regular order using the Amazon.com link on my blog page here, because just using that link to buy ANYTHING on Amazon earns me a little commission. So if you are in the market for socks, a bowling ball, office supplies, bug killer,a tennis racket, bird seed, condoms, a waterproof mattress pad, a stuffed monkey or anything else you could POSSIBLY order from Amazon.com please us the link here on the old Snarkfest blog and help me put some pennies in 15 & 13's little college fund. That would be awesome!

Now I'm going to share a few more of the awesome bloggers that I've got the pleasure of collaborating with in I Just Want to Pee Alone.
Insane in the Mom-Brain shares with us the Chick Fil-A Bathroom Incident of '07. I have to admit, it's gross but she had me at REDRUM.

Amy of Amy's Real Life shares her story of being a juror on a murder trial in Juror Number Me. It's a 3 part blog that will have you on the edge of your seat.

And finally for today, I give you Kim at Let Me Start By Saying with this awesome piece, What Parents Say, What Parents Mean. I am FOREVER telling my girls, "Don't listen to what I say, listen to what I mean!!" And she gets it.

Go, read, enjoy and stay tuned for the new book which is due out very very soon!!!! And don't forget, for all your Amazon shopping needs, click that link please. 15 & 13's future depends on this. They're already practicing their very best "did you want fries with that?" speech.

So both Joy at Evil Joy and Stef at Mom-spirational have tagged me in a
little thing that’s been making its way around the blogosphere called:“Who the Hell Are You?” It’s this game that
helps us get to know one another.My mission,
should I choose to accept it, is to answer 25 easy questions – then tag
people.I hate tagging people and making
them answer questions but the life of my washing machine depends on it. And I
don’t have any money for a new washer or a repairman, so I’m succumbing to peer
pressure and tagging some folks. But first the answers to the questions from
yours truly:

1.Where were you
born?Methodist Hospital, South
Philadelphia

2.Were you named
after someone?St. Theresa the Little
Flower (shut up). I was actually almost named Maureen but it didn’t really flow
with my maiden name so they opted to name me after a saint (again, shut up)

3. How many
children do you have?2 daughters:
Damian and Satan.

4. How many pets
do you have?2 dogs, Henry and Cosmo and
1 cat, Cinnamon (Dumbass)

5. Your worst
injury?Since I’m so graceful, there
have been many. I broke my littlest piggy toe the night before a trip to
Hershey Park so walking from one end of the park to the other with my in-laws
was nothing short of a little slice of heaven. I’ve also pulled my back muscles
out a few times, and I once had an ear infection where the pain rivaled the
scene in Indiana Jones where they pull the guys heart out of his chest

6.Do you have a
special talent?Not sure if it’s a
talent but I love to bake and I’m a baking maniac every Christmas

15.Would you like
to be a pirate? No because I sound ridiculous whenever I say ‘arrrrgh’ plus I
look ridiculous in an eye patch and am allergic to parrots

16.Favorite
Smells? A real old fashioned bakery that makes cookies and cakes

17.Why do you
blog?Because I can. I enjoy making
people laugh and if by blogging I get to do that, then that is icing on my
cake!

18. What song do you want played at your funeral?Picasso’s Last Words (Drink to Me) by Paul
McCartney

19.What is your
least favorite thing about yourself? Being short. If I was about 5’6” I’d be so
much better proportioned, but being 5’1” my proportions are that of a member of
the Lollipop Guild

20.Favorite
hobby? I absolutely love reading books but sadly I almost never have the time
to do that anymore. Not a big fan of reading on a Nook or a Kindle but I
supposed I should start getting used to it.

21.Name Something
you’ve done, you never thought you would do?Run marathons

22.What do you
look for in a friend? A sense of humor.If you are my friend then you have the ability to find humor in all
different situations.

23.Favorite Fun
things to do?Family nights with my
crew, we do a lot of family movie nights and I love that. Also love running
with my 15 year old.
